State-sponsored coaching for JEE and NEET
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) UG and Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main are two of India’s most competitive exams. These examinations serve as the pathway to securing admission into some of the most prestigious and numerous other affiliated engineering and medical colleges in the country.
Every year, lakhs of students apply for them. In 2023, over 18 lakh students took the NEET UG, while over 9 lakh students took the JEE Main. A good NEET UG and JEE Main score can get you into some of India’s premier universities.
Some states provide free coaching to all students, while others only provide engineering and medical entrance test tutoring to students from specified groups, such as Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
